she shrugged mccain off. i was surprised. i thought she would have responded in a more specific, hard-hitting way. i was also surprised by the emotions she showed. the tough response to senator ronn johnson, but the very passionate, emotional, near choking back tears when she spoke about those four americans who were killed in benghazi. it showed the range of her emotions on this day. remember, let's put it into some sort of context. for the past month plus she's been pretty sick. she had a bad flu. she then fell. she fainted. she had a concussion. then she had a blood clot in her head and she was in the hospital for a few days, a serious blood enclosed between her ear and her brain. now she's back and she's doing the best she can. this has been a pretty emotional ride. this was certainly not, martin, the way she was expecting her four years as secretary of state to end. >> she will, of course, go before the house foreign affairs committee next hour. do you think it's going to be more of the same? >> yes. i think that they wi
